think they are a cross between sea urchins and liquorish Allsorts!

suffolk Puffs


Last year I was in Canterbury with my sister and picked up this little gismo. It calls its self a yo-yo maker but in Britain we all know that they are called Suffolk Puffs and are traditionally used for making beautiful quilts out of tiny remnants of fabric. 

But these days people are beginning to think out side the box with them, producing all sorts of things from art work to coats out of them.

A few years ago when we were just north of Paris
I brought a beautiful half scarf, half necklace thing.....scarlace....neckarf....nef....
What ever, its gorgeous and so easy to wear.
So a cousin of that would be my plan.


Made loads of colourful little puffs, but true to form I went back to my favourite classic combination, Blue and White, well you really cant go wrong with that can you?
 

Must say I am rather pleased with how it came out, and have worn it loads this summer, maybe I now need to do a winter version, all plums and navies......ideas, ideas, ideas
